Once you have the download installed, please post in this thread and confirm. In your post, please mention which version of Windows you are running.

At the same time, send an email to me at: - [email protected] and tell me which email address you provided. This is so the software company can identify PCAdvisor members when it sends out your free software key. Please put 'Minitools beta test' in the subject line of your email.

Once everyone is confirmed as up and running, I'll open a new thread, and we can proceed.

Using the method described above, I have installed the program successfully, but am rather disappointed to see a comment that it is only valid until 31st March. As I usually have a weekend back up scheme, this is not very helpful. I will see if I can find time during the week to test things, otherwise I may have to abort this beta.
